Amore, matrimoni e altri disastri

This is an ok romcom. Performances by Irons,Keating and Maggie Grace are good . The film has some laughs but is predictable.

This film was recommended by some web site and it was quite impossible to enjoy. You've seen it before: the quirky characters (all of them) speaking fast, smiling, making jokes and having mishaps, but in the end coming together and becoming better. I found all characters incredibly grating. I know it's targeted to an audience that likes to think they are quirky and interesting when in fact they are annoying and stupid, so I understand where it came from, but the characters and setup alone just made it feel like a bad stand-up comedy show: A guy comes on stage, starts telling you about his friends and family, laughing at his own jokes, and you just don't see what he thinks it's funny, but you paid for the seat and your date is laughing so you endure. The scene where some relatives arrive at work with an impromptu date "intervention", where the blind date is actually blind and the first thing she does is topple a table was cringeworthy and quite offensive for both table makers and blind people. Ugh!

Funny enough, I wanted to see this film with my wife and she had other things to do. It was the right choice.

And it's too bad, because the actors in the film are doing a decent job, or at least I have a lot of nostalgia about them so I didn't mind their work. The thing is, this was released in 2020 and it feels like a 1990 movie with futuristic phones.

Don't know why there are so many haters for this one. As somebody who normally avoids Diane Keaton movies, I was surprised by how good this one was. I think they could have stretched it out a bit longer to fill in a bit more for each of the different couples, but there wasn't one dull moment, great pacing, lots of laughs, great date movie.

Was it perfect? Lol-Not at all.

However did have overall parts,that made it watchable.

Casting was decent,most of the storylines & cinematography too.

Of course, it was not the best movie with mini-stories that turn out to be connected (those are still the ones made by Garry Marshall), and at times it was a little stupid, but it was still entertaining. We were laughing out loud at the physical comedy! I also found it fun that it was filmed in Boston - I even spotted bottles of Bully Boy at the bar!
